Italy: Toscana: Pisa

Worth visiting!

Once is Enough.

Worth visiting for The Leaning Tower alone, it is the generally accepted that there is little else to see in Pisa..

However, if you’ve read the Divine Comedy (Dante), there’s also the Palace of the Orologio, where Count Ugolino della Gherardesca was imprisoned and condemned to death.. and that’s worth a look..

Barring that.. you’ll be wondering how many mini-Leaning Tower statuetes the vendors have got through in the last 20 odd years, and almost hoping that the Tower just falls, so there’s something else to see..

Well, sort of.. :)

I just returned from Italy and it’s too bad that there were so many people about. I wanted to be the one in the picture trying to push over the tower.

As for the statuettes, no kidding, altho I must say that they looked rather cheap/gaudy. I know, they probably are pretty cheap, but still, you don’t want it to look that way.
